toro vs lawn boy
Comments (8)I am a landscaper and have owned both toro and lawnboy products. The new models from 3 years ago till now suck compared to the ones 6 years ago. See if you can find a used lawn boy 2 stroke since they last forever with aluminum or magnesium deck. The toros and lawnboys the past three years are all on the same blade of grass. You see, the lawnboys are smaller and they take longer to cut the lawn. The old ones are way more powerfull and cut better. Get the 2003 gold series if you can. I have and its the best out of the 6 lawnmowers i own and 2nd best of all i have ever used. Toro cuts nicer and the one inch of extra deck makes a difference. Heres a link to the worlds second best mower used. http://toronto.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-tools-equipment-LAWN-BOY-Mower-W0QQAdIdZ316136696 Go with the new toro over lawn boy if used them all. P.S Dont forget Cub Cadet. They build famtastic luxury mowers. Self propelled. Nice motors. Ball bearing wheels for really smooth easy monouvering and a smooth ride. It is just what you seem to need. The only con is that its 19 inch deck will take about 3 mins more than a 22 inch and successful landscapers like me dont have that time. My next move would be cadet if i didnt have so many dang lawnmowers. Btw they are mostly toro. Items you should consider. First is new toro: i like it its ok better than other lawnboys new. get cheapest model front wheel drive has better handling. Second link is for lawnboy i love with all my hart can love with. Third is cub cadet. you would love those. Here is a link that might be useful: Cub cadet. Have a look...See MoreToro vs Lawn-Boy (mulch vs bag)
Comments (8)'Very similar mowers' Actually, not. The Platinum has the hi-dome deck, unique to the LB 'Insight' Series. The steel version on my LB 10684 has been a great mulcher. The LB uses a Tecumseh and the Toro a B&S with the same 6.75 torque rating. They both have 'Personal Pace' (LB calls it 'Sensa Speed'). Neither mower has a 'transmission' per se - the constantly-slipping drive belt and control mechanism is the 'transmission'. The box on the axle is a gear reduction and turns the axis of rotation to the axle, like the 'rear end' of a vehicle. The LB does use a different box than the Toro, and it doesn't have the greasable clutch housings at the rear wheels (these do not grease the wheels). In their advertising they claim it is a new-designed unit, so maybe it does eliminate the pull-back problems with Personal Pace. The hose port on the Toro is a gimmick. On mowers without it, you just direct the hose stream under the deck and it does the same thing. You have to tie down the bail to let it run while you hose it in either case unless you want to stand right behind it and get wet. I can't comment on the Toro's abilities, never having used one. Good luck on making your choice between these two fine premium mowers!...See MoreGravely vs. Bad Boy vs. Snapper Pro vs. Ferris
Comments (14)Thank you for all the replies so far. Background on me. I am a experienced 25 year tech. 15 years was working for a JD Ag dealer workin lawn/garden products. SO I am a little bit biased towards the Green products. I spent various years working in the auto/heavy truck fields. I have also held a parttime commercial mowing business or two over the years, but used traditional tractors to do the job. I opened my own lawn shop about 1 year ago. I have spent time with the Brigg's Rep talking Brigg's, Ferris and Snapper Pro. I was not interested in Snapper home type equipment. I have also spent time with the Big Dog, Bad Boy, Gravely and Bob Cat Rep's. I am really having some GREEN withdrawls to be honest...lol.. I have looked at nearly every brand out there. Most of the commercial crews I service equipment for are wanting to get away from the newer JD ZTR's, which I don't blame them, JD really goofed on the Z800 series. I was just looking for real world experience, no hype etc.. just the honest truth how your machine has performed during your ownership. Thanks, DD...See MoreBetter Boy vs Brandy Boy
Comments (55)My first year growing Brandy boys. I am more than willing to overlook the catfacing and cracking on these lovely beefsteaks. Most have been just under 1b. Tonight's dinner was just shy of the 2lb mark and really hit the spot in terms of flavor and texture. I like them sliced with unrefined sea salt. My daughter ate 1/4 slices like a pizza. This Whopper has been harvested shortly after summer solstice, which may help explain the size. Growing in Israel where climate is similar to zone 10. I like these way better than the famous and excellent sungold cherry tomatoes in the same row. Thin skin, refined flavor and beefy interior....See Moreyardenman
